Can I participate in videoconferencing with my 2005 MacBook?

I'm scheduled to be on a videoconference later today, and wanted to find out if my 2005 MacBook enables me to do so. I don't have Isight, only Photo Booth. My operating system is Snow Leopard (if that's relevant).
If I am able to videoconference, how do I do it?
Thanks -
Randy

For stand alone videoconferencing, you need to have the same software as the others who will video.  If all are Macs, iChat is best.  You iChat version is older, but you can get the idea from this tutorial video.  See the iChat>Help menu for more details.  If the people who scheduled the conference are using some other (Skype is a common alternative for your Mac OS X (10.5.8) Mac) software,  they can tell you what it is and, if necessary, where you can get the Mac version.
If you are going to use web-based videoconferencing, ask the people who scheduled your conference for the web site.  Then launch your browser (probably Safari) , go to the URL, and see their Help or Support info for how to use it.
In any case, you will need broadband internet service for your connection.  Minimum internet requirements are different for each application, so check requirements for the software you'll be using to be sure your system meets your needs.

    Can I use a non Apple display with a new MacBook Pro?
    Special connections?

    Only thing you need is a minidisplayport-to-? adapter ... plugs into Thunderbolt port.  ? is replaced by VGA or HDMI or DVI.
    I have used high-quality brand names (LG, Samsung) that were picked because I liked the display and have had no issues.
    I will add that some threads speak of issues with some Dell monitors that work spottily if at all.  But only from reading other threads.

  • Can't sync a blackberry with the new Macbook

    I'm asking a question for a friend of mine who bought the new MB. She can't get her blackberry to sync using either pocketmac or missing sync. She's been talking to folks at Apple stores and pocketmac, and they've said it's a known hardware issue. So far none of the updates have made a difference. I haven't seen any posts about it here, but am wondering if anyone is aware of a solution.

    see text from e-mail I received after my inquiry.
    We've been hearing from customers like you that they had trouble
    synching their BlackBerry handhelds with new Aluminum MacBook laptops.
    They also reported trouble synching their new BlackBerry Storm.
    The Aluminum MacBook issue appears to be caused by a change
    Apple made to some of the hardware and software for that new model.
    We recommend two items that you should download and install to
    better assist with connection and synchronization:
    1. Apple OS 10.5.6 Update
    2. Blackberry USB Driver Patch/Upgrade (available at the bottom
    of this email).
    Please run Apple's software update from the Apple icon ---
    Software Update. After the Software Update searches for new software.
    Mac OS X 10.5.6 software update should be available in the download
    list.
    Please install this update. It's large and will take several
    minutes to complete. After successfully installing the update, please
    restart your Macintosh and continue with the instructions below...
    We've just released a new, free patch is to support synching the
    new BlackBerry Storm, the BlackBerry Bold 8900 and connections to the
    new
    MacBook Aluminum. This patch supports both Mac OS X 10.4 ("Tiger")
    and Mac OS X 10.5 ("Leopard").
    At the bottom of this email, please find the download link for
    this new update.
    However, please download this USB Driver ONLY if you have one of
    the following items in your operating environment:
    *You have a NEW Aluminum MacBook.
    *You have a BlackBerry Storm 9530
    *You have a BlackBerry Bold 9000
    Please download this update at:

  • Can I sync my iPhone with my new MacBook Pro without losing my data & apps?

    I was hoping to sync my iPhone (which is currently registered with my PC) with my new MacBook Pro. Is it possible to transfer my apps to my new MacBook or alternatively, sync my iPhone to my MacBook without losing all the apps?
    I'm a little wary after syncing an iPod to a new laptop and losing all of my data, so thought I should check this before making any drastic changes...
    Thanks!

    Welcome to the discussions,
    A manual backup will do what you want. Here's how to:
    Make sure your iTunes account is set up on your new Mac. Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
    iTunes will backup your phone without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases (Apps and bought media) by choosing File->transfer purchases in the iTunes menu.
    When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the phone for the first time.

  • How can I link my iPhone with a new MacBook if I have apps on the iPhone from 3 different Apple ID accounts?

    Since I live in three diffirent countries and I have 3 Apple ID accounts on my iPhone 4S. Recently I bought a MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion installed.
    I am not sure that when I connect my iPhone with a new MacBook all my data (apps, music, podcasts, etc.) will be transferred from the iPhone to MacBook iTunes.
    So what should I do to transfer all my data to the new MacBook and to sync the data with iPhone as usual?

    Follow the steps here, but when you come to the part about "authorizing" this computer, you will have to do so for each account/Apple Id:

  • How can I sync my iPhone with my new macbook air that already has music on it?

    I need help! I have an Iphone 4 that has all my music on it but I recently got a macbook air that already has all my songs. I want to sync my phone with my itunes but it says i may not want to. What do I do?

    Iphone will sync with one computer at a time.  If you sync to another, then it will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.
    Make sure everything is on the new computer.

  • Portable Plugins with VS 2005

    Hi
    I'm trying to understand the concept of portable plugins and use of the SDK's portable variable types (ASInt32 etc)
    1. Can Mac plugins be compiled with VS 2005? (or do you neeed XCode?)
    2. Is it simply a matter of renaming the plugin from the PC to MAC extension?
    3. If not, and it needs to be compiled on another platform, what's the point of the portable filetypes if code has to be reproduced anyway?
    On another note...
    4. Can I create portable classes, objects, etc in the usual C++ way, but using ASInt32 for the object's properties - would this be portable?
    5. Can I create arrays in the usual C++ way - would this be portable?
    Thanks In Advance

    1 - You need XCode to build for the Mac.
    2 - No, you need to compile and build on the Mac.  Also, you may/will have to port any UI elements such as icons, graphics, dialogs, etc.
    3 - Because you can use a single code base and just recompile.
    4 - Of course.
    5 - Assuming you mean things like the STL and std::vector<>, of course.

  • Can't pair iPhone 5 with 2005 Acura TL or 2009 Lexus RX350 after IOS 7 upgrade!

    Ever since I upgraded to IOS7, I have not been able to connect my iPhone 5 to the bluetooth in my car (2005 Acura TL). I tried to delete the pairing and re-pair, but the phone can no longer find the bluetooth device! I also tried to pair to my wife's car (2009 Lexus RX350), but that won't work either!! Just to note, bluetooth worked fine before with IOS6. My wife's phone (4S IOS6) also connects fine to the Lexus. I have an iPhone 5S on order for her, but I might just return it and switch my whole family to Android for good!
    Please fix this issue ASAP. This is a major issue as people rely on bluetooth for safety while driving.
    Details: I tried both patches (7.01 & 7.02) and neither one resolved the issue. My phone is currently on 7.0.2 (11A501).

    I'm having the very same problem with my 2005 Acura TL. Ever since the last iOS update.

  • Error importing oBusinessPartners with DTW 2005.0.16

    I can not import BusinessParters with DTW 2005.0.16. For objects like Items ... it works as usual. With oBusinessPartners the Source data is shown empty, resulting in 0 imports and in 0 errors. If I open the dialog "Maintain Interface" to see the field database, it is empty within the oBusinessPartners.
    How can I correct this?
    Thanks

    hi all,
    Franz is right with his interpretation: It is about participating in the Ramp-up program for SAP Business One 2007 A:
    Customer upgrade projects will not be able to participate in the 2007 A Ramp-Up if PL23 (or higher) on SAP Business One 2005 A SP01 have been applied. This is because Enhancement Package content has been introduced with PL23 which, due to compliance rules that SAP must follow, SAP can only add to SAP Business One 2007 A once this new release has been assigned general availability status.
    Necessary details for SAP partners can be checked at (as previously mentioned in this thread):

  • Deployment of a crystal report application with visual 2005

    Hello all,
    I am very new at .NET, and this is my first post to this forum.
    I've created a report  (example.rpt) with Crystal Reports 2008. Then I've installed "Crystal Report for visual .net 2005 component".
    Then I've  imported it in a vb.net project using its Crystal Report Application Template, complied it and succesfully tested it on my machine. 
    My next objective is to manage the deployment of my report on the end-user machine. Here started my problem.....
    Following suggestions I found on the net, I tried to create a Setup Project to deploy my application including Crystal Report runtime components; the report is included in the project as an embedded resource. Apparently the setup project as been correctly builded; if I run it my machine everything is ok but on  end-user machine it generated this error:
    EventType clr20r3, P1 reportarts.exe, P2 1.0.0.0, P3 49feecfc, P4 reportarts, P5 1.0.0.0, P6 49feecfc, P7 e, P8 c6, P9 system.invalidoperationexception, P10 NIL.
    I tried on different windows SP2 - SP3 machines, with .NET Framework 2.0 alredy installed but the error is the same.
    Can you Help me please???????? THANK YOU in ADVANCE

    Hi,
    I have notice that
    I've created a report (example.rpt) with Crystal Reports 2008. Then I've installed "Crystal Report for visual .net 2005 component".
    Is that meam you have developed the reports in CR 2008(Seperate product) and installed CR for VS2005 (CR 10.5) and using CR 2008 reports in CR 10.5 environment?
    Would like to inform that CR  2008 and CR 10.5 which comes with VS2005 are completely different and if in case you are converting the CR 2008 reports to CR 10.5 then you need to be careful for deployment because the correct runtimes should be installed on the deployment system.
    You can check the integrated CR with VS by opening VS environment and go to help - about - and check the CR version.
    If you are using the VS 2005 CR 10.5 then click [here|http://resources.businessobjects.com/support/communityCS/FilesAndUpdates/cr_net_2005_mergemodules_mlb_x86.zip] to install latest merge modules.
    Hope this helps!!

    How can I copy test plan WITH ITS RESULTS (PASS/FAIL) to other project in MTM??

    Hi odedn,
    Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
    Based on your issue, you mean that you want to copy the test plan with test results from the current team project
    to other team project, am I right?
    If yes, as far as I know that when we copy test plan with test results to other team proejcts. It is default that
    there just will not copy the test plan with test results (pass/fail) to other team project in MTM.
    You can refer the following MSDN document’s
    what gets cloned, it explained that which objects are copied from the source test plan to the destination test plan.
    Reference:

  • Crystal 8.5 connection with Sql 2005

    Post Author: sgtpep
    CA Forum: Semantic Layer and Data Connectivity
    Hello all,I'm not sure this is the right forum group to post in, but here it goes:I have a  problem when trying to print my crystal 8.5 reports through a sql 2005 native client.Some of them work just fine, but i get this error: "print job failed cannot open sql server" for others.I've been doing a little research, but i can't seem to find a definitive answer on this topic: Can/Does crystal 8.5 work with sql 2005 databases.I did find something about upgrading my drivers, but i'm not sure where to find them and what i should be looking for.Thanks in advance for your help,Eric

    I see - the field notice does mention ICM 7.2(7)ES139.
    Multiple occurrences of this issue have been observed since October 14, 2010
    and on all Unified ICM/CCE releases. This is not a regression defect. The issue
    occurs when a Microsoft SQL Server query operation is performed to compare the
    'lastUpdateKeys' on AW and Central Controller/Logger, during the incremental
    copying of configuration changes to the local AW. In addition, using the ICMDBA
    tool to backup and restore the database with "Truncate Config Message Log"
    option checked can lead to a similar issue that causes the ICM/CCE Router to
    reject configuration updates. No UpdateAW restart is observed in this
    situation.
    I mistakenly thought it was caused by the SQL upgrade from 2000 to 2005.
    By the way, regarding defect CSCtj65060, I NEVER check that "Truncate Config Message Log" option when exporting the config.
